- How To Become a Nurse Practitioner and Fastest Way To Becoming One
With so many different health care professionals to choose from, it only makes sense for me to promote my occupation.
Deciding to become a Nurse Practitioner has been the best decision I've made career wise, but for some reason, it was often times confusing figuring out the common routes to become a nurse practitioner and which route is the fastest.
With so many routes to choose from, i decided to make a video to help show you the most common routes out there.
In this video, I go over 4 of the most common routes to becoming a Nurse Practitioner and the fastest way to being a Nurse Practitioner

Do you need a minimum of 1 year as a rn to get into a Msn or DNP
There’s also the ADN to FNP route that several schools offer. I know MHPCS and University of Texas Arlington both offer this online. MHPCS offers a three year program if you are a RN. One year of BSN work and two years of FNP work. Arlington is a 3 1/2 year program, 1 /2 years of BSN work and 2 years of FNP work.
While you could just get your BSN first, these programs give you the security of already being admitted to a FNP program as long as you maintain a 3.0 GPA.
Please given me information to how to learned msc
Q
I took the longest route ever.... EMT > Medic > LPN > Bridge to ADN (RN) > BSN > MSN in Nursing Education > DNP
congrats girl! me too lol. EMT to CNA to LPN now. and hopefully NP!
My route is similar...CNA > BSN > MSN in Nursing Education but I am now researching FNP certification programs vs DNP. Can you provide any comments about this?
@@tj5719 hi did you get in info on this I just finished my msn in education but now want to go for pmhnp
Not to far off LPN > ADN RN > Finishing up BSN RN. Looking for online program to do Psych NP
LPN BSN DNP
Thank you for this been thinking about bridging for a while now ..with small kids it's hard to transition but thank you for shedding more light on how you can do it in less time and not break the bank as well
Great video as always. I'm currently in LVN school and also hold a non-Nursing Bachelor's degree. My plan was to go the direct entry level MSN route after graduating from LVN school next year, but after this info, I'll go the direct entry DNP route while I gain experience working as a nurse. I always thought it was a bit odd that all you need for medical school are the prerequisites (some schools require some shadow/volunteer experience), but to become a DNP you had to go through so many hoops. Glad to know that's no longer the case.
thank you so much for the support. yes, im glad i was able to shed some light for you on the next step for you. Best of luck!
@@LifeofaPsychNP Thank you got the same info, I’m in the similar situation. Can you recommend some schools for direct entry DNP-NP program ? Online method is also ok
Great video!! I’ve been doing mental health for a bit and I absolutely love it! My thing is, there are never psychiatrists to refer my folks to. So, now I would love to become a psych nurse practitioner to fill the gap. What would you recommend as the best route?
Thanks for the vid! whats the latest on them possibly making the Doctorate mandatory for all psych NPs?
Hello! Aspiring DNP Midwife here!! I wanted to know would you would recommend going straight into NP or DNP programs after getting your RN or working first and getting bedside experience and then going back to school??
Hi! I just subscribed! ☺ i have an ADN and ready to get out of bedside nursing!! can you recommend schools that have the direct NP-DNP?
Hello new to your channel and I'm loving it already. How many hours/days per week does the average psychiatric nurse practitioner work?
Hi they have a program at my school that allows you to go from ADN to MSN , you just take a mix of grad and undergrad courses . The only downfall is you don’t receive your BSN . Is this a good option ?
Are there direct entry NP programs for psych or do you have to do family practice first and then get additional psych training?
Hello, I’m Brazilian and trying to apply to direct entry MSN-NP. Do you know any college that offers this program in Orlando/FL!? Thank you ❤️🙏🏾
So , the DNP programme is what I have to do in order to become an NP ,right?
Does the DNP program include the speciality of NP someone wants to do ? Or I have to do another program related with the NP speciality I want to do after the DNP ?
Hi,just a question I’m an RN now and have a bsn already what’s the next route to get into NP program?tia
Thank you for your wonderful video! I wanna ask you a few questions if you don't mind me asking.
1. Do I need to get a BSN degree to work as a nurse (either RN or NP) though I have an MSN/DNP degree? I mean, is it recommended? I'm wondering if it is common and okay to work as a nurse without a BSN degree when I have an MSN/DNP.
2. Is there any chance that I can apply for the direct entry MSN/DNP program when I already graduated but haven't finished the prerequisite courses? I wonder if I can finish the prerequisite courses in a community college and then apply for the program.
3. Do I have to choose the specialty when I start the direct entry MSN/DNP program?
Hey Psychdude I love your videos! I did psych when I first got out of nursing school, many years ago. Now I want to go back to it. It really is my first love. I was wondering if you have a psych report sheet. Or maybe a "brain" sheet? Could you please do a video on that? Thanks again for all you do!
I can't find any schools in the U.S that offer a DNP-NP. Any advice?
Hey plz let me know if this is a good route for me
I am a senior going to do Lvn at Gurnick academy, then I plan to do a lvn to bsn program, and then finally a Np program. Is this a good route?
Just subscribed!
My school offer multiple pathways to get RN licensure through accelerated BSN or MSN or ADN to BSN. My concern is that will the MSN program be hard because I don’t have any nursing experience or background in the field?
You can also do RN to FNP in Minnesota. Herzing University. 2-3 years.
Nice, thanks for the info
I am currently in an FNP program and I want to work as a psych NP, is there a way to go directly into working in psych or do I have to get certified in pmhnp before I can work in the field?
Hi, did you get your NP degree in US? Can I become an NP/ CRNA with a BSN degree from the Philippines? since we have different educational system
The AANP test is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed after studying with so many materials😞
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@Brenda helped me and two of my friends pass the exam few years ago you're lucky I still have her info
Here is her what’s@p info

i'm living in nyc. are there any adn to np programs? online programs work too. i am currently a senior finishing up my bachelors in Nutrition Health Science and was looking into nursing but don't want to spend years and years in college.
Can you please recommend and/or company the various FNP/PMHNP online programs - for California RNs?
Have you found any direct entry DNP programs? I cant find any in California
Can a sonographer (DMS) become a np? If so how many years? Is there any sonographer to rn bridge program?
Nice video.Thank you for sharing😊🇯🇵🌸
Thank you so much
Which program is the best option for M.Sc Psychiatric nursing qualified professionals?
Pls which university did you get your Np from?
This is a route I am trying to go down. I start my junior year in the fall(‘23) but it is in psychology..
ADN takes 4 years with basic classes 2 years to even apply and get accepted into a program and then 2 year program / degree for specifically nursing
So just to clarify say for example I have a degree in psychology or business my undergraduate. I can take that degree and go straight into an msn Degree program without having a run degree ? So then how would I study for the nclex without going to school for it ?
Hello, im a senior and im currently stressing about applications and im really lost. Whats the first step i should take, what do i look at in a college can someone plz help me asap
Hello how is it going so far
where are you? is it in Australia? because I'm looking at how to become NP in Australia but you're not saying where exactly these aspect that you are talking about are applicable !
Hello is the Master of Arts in Nursing(Philippines) acknowledged in US Education system so I may proceed with DNP program there in US universities
Am I crazy for not wanting a nursing degree? my thinking is LVN to RN then finish up what classes are needed to get into a CSU get BS in biology or something useful then look into PA or direct entry program and if I get in a NP program I'm an RN already and if I can't make it I have an RN still and a degree. I have no interest in management or a role with more responsibility and the same scope of practice
hi,
I am RN from back home and soon going to give my challenge exam for RN and if I passed and get liscense, am I eligible to study master in nursing for Nurse practitioner or I need to do first Post graduate in nursing in Canada and then do my masters?
Any one know of any NP programs in Oregon that are affordable? Capella and WGU I dont believe you can do it in my states smh but I can do my BSN and MS with capella which I am doing now
I know this is old but I think it might be worth mentioning the pre-requisites to get your ADN. Correct me if i'm wrong because I am not a nurse but I think it's about 2 years of schooling before you can apply to ADN programs. My Wife did CNA, LVN, then LVN to RN bridge.
YES, this. It is about 2 years of pre-reqs, and then 4 semesters of nursing school. The BSN has a few additional pre-reqs and is only an additional semester, so that's what I am doing.
Great video -- It's weird that the direct entry NP program is 4 years but if you have a BSN and already are a RN its still 3-4 years to get your DNP? Thanks for the video
Yeah, it just depends on what you want and what stage of life you are in. Sometimes it's more beneficial doing a direct entry so you don't have to reapply again
Doing the direct entry((lpn with bachelor's in something else))
definitely doing the direct DNP program
Yeah, it's a great option and I wish I would have done it that route
Life of a Psych NP could you possible create a list of schools that have this program? I was looking and I only seem to see vermont
Can someone please tell me the Courses within. Becoming a nurse Practitioner
I’m starting my ADN program this fall, is there a bridge program or direct MSN entrance program to become an NP?
Yes, there are but very few of them
@@LifeofaPsychNP thank you! I will start looking into schools that offer that. Great video! Lots of helpful information 👍
Sounds good. Best of luck! Thank you for the support
I have a Masters in Clinical Social Work and I’m Licensed to practice psychotherapy; however, I’m looking to broaden my scope of practice. What’s the best route of transition for someone with a Masters in a related field to go?
If you want to go into nursing, you still need your basic nursing license...they have Bachelor(any bachelor degree) to BSN degree programs..then after that you do pmhnp.
Hi I am a LCSW too. Last year I just did accelerated RN program, took me 1.5 year. Now hoping a school can take me for psych NP program this Fall.
What school was this and what state
What pre-reps are needed in order to get my BSN?
That Varys from school to school!
Hi :) I'm currently taking BS Biology.. but I want to become NP in the future.. What is the next step after I graduate BS Biology?
Hi next step would be to get a nursing degree. Depending on what nursing degree you get (BSN or msn), then you can go to NP school
If you already have a bachelor’s in something else, accelerated BSN programs are an option. You can start nursing in about 1-1.5 years and, you’ll have an income to pay to further your education if taking out a massive amount of loans is not something you want. Current nurses will tell you how important experience is before becoming a practitioner.
me trying to understand what all these acronyms stand for....I really want to be a NP and I graduate high school in 21'
Same
ASN = associates degree in nursing (2 year nursing degree)
BSN = bachelorette of science in nursing (4 year nursing degree)
MSN = Masters of science in nursing (6 year degree in nursing and lowest qualification to become a NP)
NCLEX = the test you take to become a RN (registered nurse)
hope this helps :)
What are the schools that provide a direct DNP to NP courses? I am interested with this Sir.
UPenn, Vanderbilt, Boston college are a few
Thank you!!!!🤙🏼
👌🏽
@@LifeofaPsychNP saving this for later
The University of South Alabama has a robust program.
Frontier Nursing University is also on my list.
I graduated from Norwich University (NU) with an MSN in Nursing Education and it's a GREAT school. NU now offers an PMHNP program.
I got accepted into accelerated bsn program as well as an msn program in nursing which one is best on my goal to becoming a CRNA? I’m kind of conflicted right now being 25. It took me forever to get done with college having paying for it as well as having leukemia in 2019 to 2020.
DO MSN!!!
Is a DNP a doctorate? Is psych NP a DNP or regular NP?
@@temishobitan3204 a dnp is a doctorate level degree and an np is a masters degree
So you can get your license as a RN and then transition into. NP????
ADN does not take 2 years. It's 2 years in the program but you need your prerequisites first.
After completing the direct entry DNP program, what would be the next step to take toward being a CRNA?
That’s a good question, can someone please answer this
They are two very different programs. I don't think it would make sense to go DNP then CRNA. It would make sense to either go DNP and work as an NP, or CRNA and work as a CRNA.. DNP is not a pre-req for CRNA.
@@therudimentroom you have to have a DNP or DNAP to become a CRNA.
@@kam1776 No you do not. You can have your MSN then go to CRNA school. A doctorate is not required at this time
Can you share direct entry dnp programs and msn/np programs?
University of Vermont! Has direct entry NP
See these seem so long to me.. I ended up taking a break from school when I was younger and then had my son so now I’m back trying to get to my goal but I’m not trying to be 40 by the time I get there lol. From what I’ve been told I’m in this ADN program where if I continue with my 4.0 GPA and pass my exam I can go into this program CEP where pretty much I get my BSN in one semester So essentially I would get my ADN and BSN at the same time. And my program is only 12-16 months long and adding the BSN it adds 3 months on so for me I would have graduated in a year but I will be adding the BSN so 15 months all together with my BSN. I have been talking to the school where I’ll be getting my MSN specializing in pediatric nurse practitioner it’s 18months long and I have the option of either taking the extra courses for my DNP at the same time or I can sit for the NP boards and then take my DNP courses and that would take 6 months so all together it’s like 4-5 years instead of the 9-10 years most people talk about
What program is it?
Hope you are in good health. I have a question about my plan for studying an online MSN (FNP) program from Cincinnati University. I fear that I might be looked down upon by colleagues or physicians if l got to work with them in hospital later on, or l also might be the last applicant in the list if I am for instance applying for emergency medicine fellowship training. So, do you think sir that could be a hinder to my goal attainment or l should look for another study program where I have to attend in person class.???
Thank you
I’m getting my masters to be a Clinical mental health counselor to be a lincesed therapist
But I wanna be a PSYCH NP SO BAD
I just need direction
I have a bachelors in biochem and molecular bio . I’ve been doing covid diagnostics for 2 years but now considering nursing .
Interested in aesthetics - not anesthetist.
Do I go to a direct entry msn , what about the “experience”
Are you talking about a nurse that does cosmetic procedures? You don’t need a master’s for that. You can do that with a bachelor
@@peacefreedom4930 I do not have a BSN , I have a bachelors in science . So was wondering how to do an msn with that
BSN to NP
I studied family health/social welfare in BSN. Who am I?
The title should say how to scare away a person interested in becoming a nurse practitioner .
ADN takes 3-4 years, 1-2 years for prereqs, 2 years for actual RN courses.
No accurate
I finished in 18 months... had most the prereqs done in highschool with early college.
This was a really helpful video when I was deciding to start my NP program. I did a video myself about the classes in my curriculum (ruclips.net/video/nUPr2jr_SXM/видео.html) and I was wondering how much different your psych classes were from the core NP classes?
Good video but pretty lengthy sponsorship, try to keep it as sweet and concise as possible. I found it interesting but also found myself wanting to skip ahead. Otherwise helpful video 👌
If I were a patient, would I want to be cared for by someone who did the direct entry, got their DNP as fast as possible, then never had to go to school again?
how would you know? they all have the same title
Don't be fooled the dnp program is one of the toughest programs as it's a 3 year program cramped into two so it's more stress but in a short time you are done if you are able to sail through..Any nurse who made it into nursing school went through blood and tears to become an rn ..to even get into the basic rn program is worth emulating ..
So pretty much the fastest way is 5 years and the slowest is 8
fastest way? It is already
Half the video was a commercial Booooooo!
